Could not import Django settings into Google App Engine
- by gkelsall
Hello all you Google App Engine experts,
I have used Django a little before but am new to Google App Engine and
am trying to use it's development web server with Django for the first time.
I don't know if this is relevent but I previously had Django 1.1 and
Python 2.6 on my Windows XP and even though I have uninstalled Python
2.6 there is still a folder and entries in the registry.
I have followed the instructions from Google but when I browse to the GAE developemnt web server it cannot find my settings
(details below).
Any hints gratefully received.
Regards
Geoff
